Macbook does not see SY22 Synth

[phouseplus]

Hello gang:

Using a macbook 4.1, and turtle beach USB midi cable, to connect to a Yamaha SY22 v synth.

Try as I might, I cannot get the macbook to see beyond the turtle beach cable. Any and all thoughts are appreciated. I'm trying to use this with Reason 3.0 .

Thank you for your wisdom

Common problems are
1) MIDI in and out cables are revered (in goes to out and out to in)
2) Whatever is sending is on a different MIDI channel then what ever is listening. Best solution always is to set the listener's channel to "all"
